Aircraft program
6–8 passenger hydrogen-electric business aircraft designed for an 800 nautical mile mission at 300 KTAS, with a maximum speed of 360 KTAS. The aircraft is powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells, with a battery-free 2.4 MW electrical architecture and twin aft-mounted electric propfans. Six Type IV tanks store 193 kg of gaseous hydrogen at 700 bar. The aircraft is being developed for EASA CS-25 / FAA Part 25 certification, with certification targeted for the early 2030s.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Notable technologies — each tag names a technology on our research record for this aircraft, with its fitting status: Primary, Standard, Option or Planned.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
